It's December

Here we are again!!! It's December... Many things come to mind... what have been my achievements this year, what have been my failures, what opportunites did I exploit and which ones did I loose. In what ways have I grown, as an individual, as a husband, as a father, as a son, as a friend, as a mentor, as an employee and most importantly, as a child of God!!!

December tends to be a month of excitement, abandon, carefree living... it does not help that this years December has an election date as well!!!

However I will not dwell on that and look forward to a good month... my son undergoes his rite of passage this month reminding me that I am growing old and that my responsibilities are shaping up differently now, my daugther is now all set to join primary school proper, StAY Alive has its Dinner & Liberty Awards Nite on 12th, I have my first year-end with my current employer, I make a decision on how Kenya will be governed for the next five years and I celebrate the birth of Christ.

Its my prayer that He will be born in my and your heart everyday... make room for Him!!!

My guiding verses this month...

Isaiah 9: 2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. 3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. 4 For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. 5 Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

... peace on earth and goodwill to all men ...
